U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman, a South Carolina Republican, plans to run for the U.S. Senate in the state following the death of longtime Sen. Lindsey Graham, Norman said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI will be laser-focused on passing President Trump\u2019s America First (agenda),\u201d Norman said in an interview with Fox News.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a post on his campaign website, Norman said the country was at a crossroads and that \u201cPresident Trump needs proven conservative fighters standing with him – not politicians who fold when the pressure comes.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Norman\u2019s announcement comes after President Donald Trump said on Friday he had asked Darline Graham to run for the position in a special Republican primary on August 11.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope Darline does this, in that there would be nobody better to honor the legacy of her beloved brother, Lindsey,\u201d Trump said in an endorsement posted on his Truth Social platform.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Graham was sworn in on Tuesday to fill the Senate seat on an interim basis. In an open letter released on Saturday, she praised her brother\u2019s dedication to the state and the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, it\u2019s time for me to step up for South Carolina,\u201d wrote Graham, who did not say whether she would run in the primary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Candidates can formally file to run next week. Others who have announced their intention to seek the Senate seat are Republicans Duke Buckner and Mark Lynch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Norman, 73, ran unsuccessfully this year for governor of South Carolina.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He is a lifelong resident of Rock Hill, with a career outside of politics in commercial real estate development. Norman was elected to represent South Carolina\u2019s 5th Congressional District in 2017. He previously spent 11 years in the South Carolina House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Norman has \u201cconsistently voted in favor of limited government, individual liberties, and sound financial policies,\u201d according to his U.S. House biography.<\/p>\n
